I imagine 56k is as slow as... the psp's internet browser? It's been so long since I've had it.
And that's the only thing I need is *this*. I don't need this or this. Just this PS4... And this gaming PC. - The PS4 and the Gaming PC and that's all I need... And this Xbox 360. - The PS4, the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360, and that's all I need... And these PS3's. - The PS4, and these PS3's, and the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360... And this Nintendo DS. - The PS4, this Xbox 360, and the Gaming PC, and the PS3's, and that's all *I* need. And that's *all* I need too. I don't need one other thing, not one... I need this. - The Gaming PC and PS4, and Xbox 360, and thePS3's . Well what are you looking at? What do you think I'm some kind of a jerk or something! - And this. That's all I need.

^ its so slow that it takes about 20 minutes to download 3MB mp3 song.
its obsolete here in UK, we even have fibre obtics now, i got 24mb adsl2 myself
the adsl provider here uses it as an incentive for people to switch from cable. They give 5-15 hours free dial-up per month with your adsl so that you can access the internet away from home.
There are still remote and rural areas where the 56K model may be the best alternative for Internet service for quite a while.
I would hate to live there personally because I feel my cable slows down too much sometimes.
Of course, I also remember 300 baud -- and being told that was the fastest you would ever be able to send over the telephone lines. (56K, which is 51.6 in reality, is 172 times faster than that).

There a still a lot of places in the US with no form of broadband. US is just too expansive of a nation for those services to reach everywhere.
It'll be quite some time for it to be completely replaced.
It's been obsolete for years.
